As soon as Zhao Fenglou arrived at the mansion, he summoned Zhao Zhihuan.
When Zhao Zhihuan saw Zhao Fenglou's appearance, he was immediately shocked. Zhao Fenglou was his third grandfather. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He was said to be a top martial arts master who went out to kill wind beasts all year round.
A person with excellent martial arts skills can live for more than a hundred years and keep his appearance unchanged. In addition, when Zhao Fenglou returns to Jiao Mingzhou after many years, he will deliberately make his appearance look older, so it is not easy to arouse others' suspicion.
.
In fact, Zhao Fenglou is Zhao Zhihuan's third great-grandfather, but it is unexplainable that someone of that generation can still survive, so Zhao Zhihuan's memory was tampered with by him.
Therefore, Zhao Zhihuan did not know that Zhao Fenglou was an immortal cultivator, but Zhao Fenglou still occasionally revealed some things that only immortal cultivators knew during conversations with him, which made Zhao Zhihuan's knowledge far better than ordinary mortals.
Zhao Fenglou just said that he was injured by the wind beast, and that the spirit moth was his disciple who had been away from home. This time, it was thanks to her that he escorted him all the way back.
Then all the healing matters will be handed over to the spirit moth. What kind of medicine should be taken and what kind of doctor should be hired? You must obey the spirit moth's instructions.
In fact, as soon as Zhao Fenglou returned to Zhao Mansion, he wanted Ling Mo to leave, but Ling Mo refused.
The spirit moth knew that the next matter of collecting healing elixirs was not something that mere mortals could do, so he asked to stay again.
After half a year of supporting each other, Zhao Fenglou already knew Ling Moth's nature and knew that she sincerely wanted to repay him for saving her life. He was very relieved about Ling Moth. .??.
In addition, I really couldn't go to the market to purchase elixirs in this state, so I had no choice but to summon Zhao Zhihuan and give an explanation, and the spirit moth stayed in the Zhao mansion.
Zhao Zhihuan heard that Ling Mo was the disciple of Third Grandpa, so her seniority was higher than hers.
In addition, the people of Fengshen Continent have been harmed by wind beasts and have great respect for warriors who can kill wind beasts, so they must treat the spirit moths as guests.
But Ling Moth was not willing. After Zhao Fenglou thought about it, he felt that Ling Moth was not suitable to attract too much attention. In the end, Ling Moth ostensibly became the personal maid of the old lady of the Zhao family.
Later, Zhao Fenglou began to heal his wounds, and occasionally gave Ling Mo some advice on spiritual matters. The two of them could be said to be both teachers and friends.
After Ling Moyin received the guidance of a golden elixir master, her cultivation level also improved by leaps and bounds, and she soon reached the middle stage of the second level.
But unfortunately, four years later, Zhao Fenglou fled all the way in the early stage, which delayed the best time for healing. In the end, he was still unable to remove the poison of the 'Golden Silk Dan Miasma', and the Golden Dan was about to break.
Before he died, he told Ling Moth that his enemy was named Xu Xing, known as the "Golden Thread Soul Man", and he was a powerful underworld tycoon.
He had a deep hatred because he shot his only disciple to death because he had killed a mortal before.
Xu Xing is a man who will retaliate for his anger and will definitely be found in the future. Zhao Fenglou asked Ling Mo to protect Zhao Zhihuan's family if he has the ability to improve greatly in the future.
Otherwise, it would be better for Ling Moth to leave as soon as possible, and let the traces she left behind disappear as soon as possible. As for how Ling Moth decides, he already knows Ling Moth's nature, which is simple and stubborn, and he cannot control it at all.
After the explanation, Zhao Fenglou used his last magical power to fight that he could not escape into the avenue of reincarnation, and at the price of never being reincarnated, he resolutely turned his soul into a "blood soul-stealing lamp".
This lamp not only has a defensive effect, but can also explode with the full power of a late-stage Jindan monk.
It was the last layer of protection he left for the Zhao family's bloodline. This was the vague formation restriction that Li Yan sensed. After Zhao Fenglou's death, Ling Mo still refused to leave the Zhao Mansion and stayed here. She continued to practice hard and was finally promoted to the second level peak a year ago.
However, an accident finally occurred. A few months ago, she also discovered an unknown monk appearing in Jiao Mingzhou City.
Jiao Mingzhou is just a mortal city. Although there is spiritual energy here, it is not very good, so there may not be a monk in the city for several years. This is why Zhao Fenglou chose this place to settle down.
Therefore, the spirit moth quickly sensed the aura of a strange immortal cultivator entering the city, and one person quietly sneaked into Zhao's house that night.
Spirit Moth had been preparing for a long time, and the attacks and traps she prepared were all for dealing with the Golden Core cultivator. That man was only a foundation-building practitioner, so she quietly captured him without much effort.
Under torture and interrogation by Ling Mo, the other party admitted that he had seen the ultimatum issued by Xu Xing, and he happened to have met Zhao Fenglou once in Mingjiao Prefecture, so he felt that it was very likely that he was this person.
According to Xu Xing's life-chasing ultimatum, Zhao Fenglou's cultivation level has now declined, and he is only in the middle stage of foundation building at best. There is a bounty of three thousand low-level spiritual stones. So many spiritual stones are very tempting even for ordinary Jindan cultivators.
Already.
So, after hesitating for a long time, this little Jiji finally gritted his teeth and went to the mansion to find out the news.
Even if there is no trace of Zhao Fenglou, he will bring a drop of Zhao Zhihuan's blood to Xu Xing, and finally Xu Xing will use the blood to use magic to track him.
From this, Ling Mo knew that Xu Xing had really never given up on the pursuit and had even promised a huge reward. After killing the infiltrator, she already felt that time was running out.
However, she still insisted on her decision. If Xu Xing came, she would fight to the death to protect Zhao Fenglou's descendants.
Use your own demon core to detonate the "Blood Soul Seizing Lamp", which will increase its power by at least 30%, and may be able to kill Xu Xing.
It's just that by coincidence, Li Yan and the others appeared in the Zhao Mansion, and her innate magical power "Six Spiritual Eyes" sensed the existence of Li Yan and the others' consciousness.
In addition, after she asked Zhao Yuan and the others, she confirmed that the other party was an immortal cultivator.
However, she could not sense the true cultivation level of Li Yan and the others at all, and Li Yan and the others entered the Zhao Mansion in this way, which caused the spirit moth to misunderstand.
She thought that these three people had some magic weapon to hide their auras, which was why she couldn't see through them.
Zhang Ming and the others must have also seen Xu Xing's ultimatum, but their cultivation was low, so they entered the Zhao Mansion in this way, and finally waited for an opportunity to act.
Otherwise, if the other party's cultivation level is higher than mine, and they outnumber the few, they can capture themselves and Zhao Zhihuan's family in one fell swoop.
Since then, the spirit moth has had murderous intentions. She wants to kill people and silence them. She can delay it for a while and buy herself some time to practice.
After making the decision, she came over in the middle of the night and drank "moth poison powder". This poison is the highly poisonous poison carried by the "six-eyed demon moth" itself. After being continuously tempered by the spirit moth, it can already cause fatal damage to the golden elixir monks.
Already.
Although she had this trump card, she was not sure that she would be able to poison Xu Xing in a fight. A strong man who could kill Zhao Fenglou might kill herself with half a move, so the poison could only be used as a sneak attack.
And just after she took action, Qian Ji suddenly appeared behind her without any warning, and the gap between their cultivation levels was immediately apparent. Ling Moth instantly knew that he had made a mistake in judging these three people.
own this
A strong man with such strength can just come to the door and kill him, but it is too late to regret...
After Li Yansouhun saw all this, his murderous intention slowly subsided.
"Sometimes it seems that monsters are more affectionate than humans!"
He also saw from the other party's memory that Ling Moth had developed feelings for Zhao Fenglou, and Zhao Fenglou seemed to have feelings for her. Perhaps because he felt that his time had come, Zhao Fenglou always kept a certain distance from Ling Moth.
He also tried to teach Spirit Moth as much as possible about his cultivation, hoping to dilute Spirit Moth's infatuation with a relationship similar to that of master and apprentice.
But the spiritual moth may have been the reason for the initial awakening of spiritual wisdom, so Zhao Fenglou, who saved her, was engraved in her bones after that glance and could never be forgotten.
Seeing Li Yan seemingly lost in thought after searching for his soul, Qian Ji and Zi Kun didn't dare to disturb him for a while.
It's just that they were a little strange about Li Yan's behavior in their hearts. The two demons knew that Li Yan seemed easy to talk, but he was absolutely cold-blooded towards those who wanted to kill him. He could take action and would never say a word.
After a few more breaths passed, a light flashed quietly in Li Yan's eyes, and he suddenly raised his hands and waved his sleeves.
Ling Moth, who was already in a coma, felt a coolness enter the sea of consciousness, and then she immediately woke up.
The moment she woke up, Ling Moth herself was still a little confused. She couldn't realize where she was for a while. After she saw the three people in front of her clearly, memories suddenly came to her mind, and her plump body trembled.
She didn't know how much time had passed. She only remembered that the other party was searching for souls at the last moment. Was she fainted from fright just now?
Now it seems that this is because she does not want her soul to be searched while she is in a coma. This is because she wants her to feel with her own skin that life is worse than death.
A trace of despair flashed in Ling Moth's eyes. She had already asked for what she should have asked for. The three people in front of her looked cold and cold, but when she thought of Zhao Fenglou's entrustment, she couldn't help but want to fight for another chance of survival.
"senior……"
"Okay, you don't need to say anything. I will spare you for the sake of your kindness and righteousness!"
Li Yan had already spoken calmly, but what he said made Ling Moth stunned for a moment, and his frightened face appeared dull for a moment.
"Senior, you...you said let me go?"
For a moment, Ling Moth said with some uncertainty. The ups and downs made her think that the other party might be teasing her, and then she was disappointed in the surprise.
As a demon clan, she is most familiar with this method.
More than once, she has seen many weak monsters captured by powerful monsters, but those powerful monsters were not eager to kill the opponent, and even deliberately left loopholes to allow the opponent to escape. Finally, when the opponent was full of hope, they suddenly captured them again.
Live them...
"Do you think I'm teasing you, or do you really don't want to live anymore?"
Li Yan remained expressionless, staring at Ling Moth like this, which made Ling Moth unable to see Li Yan's emotions at all. He actually put his hands on the ground like that for a while, feeling a little at a loss.
Qianji and Zikun looked at each other, and they were also very puzzled by Li Yan's decision. For a moment, the whole room was strangely silent.
At this moment, Zi Kun frowned at first, and then raised his head with great enthusiasm and looked out the window.
"Someone is here, and he is a Jindan monk. Maybe it is the Xu Xingxun you remember in your memory. The matter between you has nothing to do with me. We are really just passing by!"
Li Yan spoke calmly again, and his words made the body of Ling Moth, who was still in a daze, tremble violently, and his whole body immediately became awake.
She has no feelings Someone arrived, but she heard more meaning from Li Yan's words.
The other party seemed to be so clear about the grievances between him and Xu Xing, but he also made it clear that he was not on the same side as Xu Xing.
"They searched my soul!"
This was the only possibility that Ling Moth thought of in an instant, but it was the emergence of this thought that made her look at Li Yan filled with extreme fear.
If I remember correctly, it was this person whose palm was covering the top of his head before, not the two handsome young men.
"He...he...he is a Yuanying monk!"
Only monks above Nascent Soul can search souls without hurting the opponent's sea of consciousness. Of course she knows this very well.
However, Ling Moth quickly thought of the other meaning of Li Yan's words. She stood up with her hands on the ground and bowed to Li Yan and the others.
"Thank you, senior, for not killing me!"
Then, he no longer looked at Li Yan and the others, but jumped out of the window.
The spirit moth saw that he had already flown into the air and did not feel any restraints around him. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid just now that this terrifying monk named Zhang Ming was playing tricks on her. When she flew out, she suddenly shot and killed him, crushing all her hopes in an instant.
After the spirit moth stood still in the air, she turned back to look at the room below. Through the open window, she could see that there was no one in the room at this time, and the spirit moth couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in her eyes.
"I will never be able to cultivate to that level in this life. It's so powerful!"
Immediately, she took a deep breath, and her breath slowly rose. At the same time, a lamp suddenly appeared in her hand. The lamp was bronze in color, with a snow-white wick standing upright in the middle, but there was not a drop of lamp oil in the lamp.
The spirit moth held the lamp in one hand, pinched a magic formula with the other hand, and pointed it towards the bronze lamp. The wick was still not lit, but an invisible green light spread out from the bronze lamp.
The green light flashed in the night, and then the night sky returned to its previous calm.
After doing all this, Ling Moth looked forward. The night wind blew her long, somewhat disheveled hair, and her previous panic had made her bun a little loose.
With her free hand, she just gently smoothed a few strands of black hair in front of her forehead. There was a firm look in her eyes, and her face was already neither happy nor sad.
At this moment, the space in front of the spirit moth suddenly fluctuated, and a slender figure suddenly appeared in the sky above Zhao Mansion.
Then, the man seemed to be blocked by an invisible light shield, which made the slender figure take a few steps back.
"Huh? There are indeed immortal cultivators!"
After he stopped, his true appearance was revealed.
This person is a middle-aged man in his forties, with bronze skin, a horse face, long eyes and thin eyebrows, and unusually long hands and feet. He is dressed in white and looks very dazzling in the dark night, looking like a hanged ghost.
Then his consciousness was instantly released and swept forward. Due to the obstruction of the formation, he vaguely saw a vague figure in the air ahead.
"This senior, why did you come here?"
The voice of the spirit moth came out.
"What's the matter? Hehehehe... Why doesn't Zhao Fenglou come out? Is he trapped by an old poison?"
The horse-faced man let out a strange laugh.
"Senior, what do you mean? This is indeed the Zhao Mansion, but who is the Zhao Fenglou you are talking about?"
The voice of the spirit moth continued to be heard from the formation.
